NDLE's only drop off entrance is Entrance #1, North of North DeSoto Upper Elementary. Morning Carpool begins at 7:05 a.m. Please make sure your child is ready to get out when you pull all the way forward in the drop-off line. Carpool drop-off ends at 7:35 a.m.
For your child's safety, do not drop them off once duty teachers go inside. After that time, please park and walk your child in through the cafeteria to check them in. Students are considered tardy after 7:40 a.m. We want to be sure that every student is safe and supervised.
Thank you for helping us keep mornings safe and smooth.

Habit 3: Put First Things First
“Decide what’s most important and make time for it.”
Habit 3 is all about making smart choices with time. It helps children (and adults!) learn that not everything is equally important. Some things—like learning, helping others, and taking care of ourselves—deserve to come first.
At school, students practice this by planning their day, keeping track of assignments, and staying focused during learning time. At home, families can explore this habit by:
Creating a “weekly plan” together. Let your child help decide when to do homework, sports, chores, and fun activities.
Talking about balance. Ask, “What’s something important you want to get done this week?” and “What’s something fun you’re looking forward to?”
Modeling priorities. Share how you decide what comes first in your own day.
When families live Habit 3, children learn to plan ahead, stay organized, and make choices that reflect what matters most to them. It’s not about doing everything—it’s about doing the right things first.
